EdemaWear stockinet utilizes a new textile technology, Fuzzy Wale Elastic Compression (FWC)
Wales (fuzzy corduroy-like material) create a fuzzy nexus with the skin to deliver effective compression of the subcutaneous fat and to move water back to the heart
Between the wales, medical Lycra spandex elastic yarn provides compression
There is non-compressed skin between each wale with patent lymphatic vessels
Over time, the wales impresses into the skin creating a cornrow furrow
In each cornrow furrow, tissue compression is high enough to be physiologically useful
